I am a little anxious about going to Dalian for a week. It will be such a challenge to speak mandarin all the time. My Chinese has improved slightly since i started hanging out with Becky during lunch. Becky is my colleague from Beijing, and my best girlie at work. My best guy friend at work, Captain, is also a Chinese national.
It is different, however, to have to spend three full days in a conference room full of senior top chinese officials. And I have to conduct an interview with the education bureau in Chinese!
I am ashamed that I cannot communicate in Chinese after studying the language till I was 18. It is so strange to look chinese and yet be so far from being one.
